Transmission
Worm gear drives are used wherever two shafts cross at an angle of 90° and where very high ratios (up to 100 : 1) are required. A worm gear drive consists of the worm screw and the worm wheel. Worm gear drives can be used universally and are maintenance-free. The aluminium housing is encapsulated against grease leakage and the effects of dust. Bevel gears, also known as angular gearboxes, are a type of gearbox. They are used to transmit rotary movements and torques. Bevel gear drives are used wherever a drive needs to be redirected or a low transmission ratio is required. Planetary gear drives are also known as planetary gearboxes or epicyclic gearboxes. The function of a planetary gear drive is to transmit and/or increase the torque. A planetary gear drive also enables the transmission ratio to be changed without separating the power flow.
